Sometimes, a platform can die without actually dying. For example, a company can stop producing certain products but still support them with software updates. Guess what, did you know that you could still download apps to your Windows phone even in 2025?

The store is no longer accessible. Even though the Windows 10 Mobile Store has been abandoned for years, the platform has been working on functional Windows 10 devices, and users could access it until this week when the Redmond-based tech giant seems to have closed it forever.

Microsoft ended support for Windows 10 Mobile five years ago. While the Microsoft Store on Windows 10 Mobile remained accessible for years, user reports confirm that the Windows 10 Mobile app store has finally shut down.

Someone must have finally pulled the plug, as five years after support officially ended, the Microsoft Store on Windows 10 Mobile has stopped working properly.
